Academic performance is a major strength. In 2025–26, the school exceeded Utah averages in every reported grade for English language arts, mathematics, and science. Average proficiency was approximately 59.5% in ELA, 60.3% in math, and 64.5% in science. Sixth grade stood out, with 58.3% proficient in ELA, 60.9% in math, and 73.2% in science. Fifth grade is the clearest area to monitor: math proficiency was 55.3% and science proficiency was 55.4%, both below district results but still above state averages. Compared with nearby Lakeside School and Cook School, the school generally performs better across the full grade span, though Cook was stronger in some lower-grade math results.

Voyage Academy is the closest high-performing alternative, ranking 124th statewide and showing especially strong science results, while Syracuse Arts Academy - North has an advantage in upper-grade mathematics. Attendance is another notable success: chronic absenteeism fell from 32.9% in 2021–22 to 12.6% in 2024–25, below both the district’s 14.5% and Utah’s 23.8%. That rate is similar to Syracuse School and Cook School, and much lower than most nearby schools. Parents may wish to watch the recent ranking decline, softer upper-grade ELA results, and fifth-grade performance while recognizing the school’s broad achievement and improved attendance.
